Latin heartthrob and
singer, Enrique Iglesias was recovering from a drone accident in his concert
last May 30, Saturday night at Plaza de Toros de Playas in Tijuana, Mexico.
A drone is usually used
in concerts like this to capture crowd shots and give the audience a ‘Point of
View’ shot. But when the 40-year old and multi-awarded
artist, Iglesias, attempted to grab the camera-carrying drone, two of his
fingers were sliced. "Something went wrong and he had an accident," one
of his representatives posted on Instagram.

The
show must go on
Though he was advised
to end the show, he just went to the side of the stage where he was given an
immediate remedy to try and stop the bleeding.
According to Joe Bonilla,
Iglesias’ press agent, he still decided to perform for 30 minutes while the
bleeding continued throughout the show. Photos went viral on social media where
he was still seen performing onstage even if his left hand was already tied up.
“He was rushed to the
airport where an ambulance met him there. He was then put on a plane to L.A. to
see a specialist,” his publicist affirmed in his statement.
His decision to
continue performing despite the bleeding made the 12,000 concertgoers applaud him
more. Many of the pop star’s fans shared their admiration to Iglesias on social
media where they posted photos of him, performing with blood all over his white
T-shirt. For them, the Spanish singer’s professionalism is really commendable.
Enrique Iglesias and
his team also expressed their appreciation and gratitude to his fans for their untiring
support, wishes, and prayers.
He recently got 19
nominations and nine awards in 2015
Billboard Latin Music Awards. According to his website, his next show is set in
July in Mexico City, still part of Iglesias’ Sex and Love World Tour.
